Artist Memberships at PMA (ICA still Free), Peggy Guggenheim documentary at iTunes, Leadership changes at Yale Arts+ CFEVA, and Opportunities for writers and artists

The PMA has introduced their first-ever Artist Membership. Between Feb. 24-28, artists can become members for $25. The application process includes documentation of artist status but the bar is set reasonably — Artists must show “documentation (via smartphone or printed piece) of how they share their work with the public. A website, Instagram or Facebook account, Etsy page, or a postcard of a past or upcoming exhibition will work just fine.”

Sarah Kaufman’s quiet arcadian photos of Devil’s Pool, closing tomorrow at Allen’s Lane

The nature of Devil’s Pool is truly gorgeous, but what Kaufman’s eye dwells most lovingly on is the people, especially their gestures, the body language of those standing on the rocks, flying through the air, or hanging around in the water. She’s also good with faces.
